Nice score Bob!


The wood tops will be great to work on!

Man, I can't imagine the amount of crap I could pile up on that much workbench space!!! Nice!!!

yes the wood tops are laminated wood 2 1/2" thick
I am going to leave them as is that way I can
pile anything on them.. no fancy finish.. I wanted to have a place
to put something big on them and work from both
sides if needed.. trying to get organized
Going to stuff 3 of my old blown Pontiac motors
underneath in the back for another day to start fixing them

Back in the dealership days it was my first at a new dealership and the first day everyone had come back to work after they had scrubbed down and painted the floors. I got done setting up my tools just in time to watch a tech come in to his stall a little too hot, tap on the brakes where the freshly painted floor was wet from his last job, and slide right into the hoist. Boom! I would imagine a polished floor would be like that every day.


I'm a +1 on the fact that a painted floor should be in more of a "showroom" garage and not a working garage. I don't care what they say about how durable that stuff is.. I've taken out chips of concrete where trannys roll off of jacks, things have fallen over... where life happens... and you will never be able to keep that floor "perfect."

Daaauuuuuummmm! Ya'll got some nice ass garages.

And they all have one thing in common.

They're all too small. :D

Yep!

LOL yeah I bet

The walls in my garage used to be brown. I painted them semi-gloss white only because I couldnt find high gloss and lots of people told me it would be to bright. It was a night and day change, and since I had to do some sheet rock work this winter I will find some high gloss when I repaint.

I also have the white epoxy floor stuff and its wonderfull, but as stated it wont stay perfect forever. I put two coats of the clear over it and it seems to help, just dont drag anything super heavy and sharp across it. Most of the time I can see when under my car without having to have a shop light when its up on jack stands as the light reflects off the floor. Only time the floor has reflected to much is in the early evening if I have the garage door open and the sun is setting,it will blast light right onto the floor and blind you if you are in the wrong spot.

I have a beige epoxy floor. The rustoleum two part epoxy paint from Home Depot. It has held up very well in the last 10 years i've been in my house. I didnt put sand in it or the flakes. I mop it once a year cause i spend a lot of time on it. Its icy when wet, but i wanted it glossy so i can clean it easy but mainly to find very small parts when dropped....like circlips on motorcycle carburators....
